Congress signals in favor of Channi

Congress may be conducting surveys now, but Charanjit Channi will be the CM face, it is being indicated time and again. Apart from Chamkaur Sahib on Sunday, Congress has again indicated by giving ticket from Bhadaur seat to Channi. Bhadaur is a stronghold of Aam Aadmi Party. On the other hand, Congress has tried to break the dominance of AAP and Akali Dal in Malwa by putting Channi in a big battle. Congress also broke the policy of One Family – One Ticket for this. From which it is clear that the Congress is playing bets only on Channi. On the contrary Navjot Sidhu has remained confined to his light.

Channi is hard to ignore now

If Congress had talked about not announcing the CM face, then someone else could have got the chair but now it is difficult to ignore Channi. The way Congress made a Dalit CM in Punjab. Now if there is another face, then the wrong message will be sent directly to the Dalits in Punjab. At the same time, the 32% Dalit vote bank will also be devastated from the Congress to a great extent. At the same time, Congress is trying to make Channi a big Dalit face of the country so that it can be raised as a big issue in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections also.
